AVG reporting download as malicious

[tcbep2]

Our firewall is reporting the windows executable for IE as malicious.

That is strange. Do you get the same warning with this installer? http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.7.700.224_archive.zip

pulled it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

At this point the distribution page (as in the original post) only contains version 202, which is known insecure.  With the security bulletin released two days ago that's worrying.  The link you provided solves the problem for me, but I hope the distribution page will be fixed soon?

(Incidentally, it is very annoying to have to agree to a distribution agreement, and wait for it to be approved, just to get security updates.  The archive solves that problem too, I guess, but isn't made all that easy to find.)

All four Windows installers on that distribution page are version 11.7.700.224 (digital signature timestamp May 30, 2013).

The page says 11.7.700.202, but I see that the actual downloads are indeed 11.7.700.224 as you say.  It still needs to be fixed though!

That's not what I see...

Try clearing your browser cache.

Nope, I still see 11.7.700.202, even when going through my personal ISP rather than my work network.  Perhaps the CDN just hasn't fully synchronized yet.

P.S. there are alternate download locations for end users: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#main-pars_hea...

I've noted the alternative link, thanks.  (It would be nice if the main download page, or perhaps http://www.adobe.com/nz/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html included a link to it!)

That download works. The above link is not prompting the IPS to respond anymore either. I guess our contractors took care of the issue. I should have been more specific when I posted earlier. Our IPS was recognizing the file as a Trojan Horse. If needed, I can go and look at the logs for more details, but it does not get flagged anymore.
